Thanks for checking in totheweathermanpodcom on your

It is the 22nd day of the monthof July, a month that's been
showing establishes a little bitabove normal across the
northeast, but we've had somebeautiful weather yesterday, on
Monday, also today, tuesday andWednesday not too bad, and it's
all courtesy of a big area highpressure currently centered

(00:22):
across Lake Ontario, northernNew York State, extending just
off to the coast of New England.
Now this high pressuresatellite is going to continue
to drift east-southeastward andprovide much of the northeast
with fairer conditions rightthrough Thursday.
But by the time we get toThursday high pressure will
reestablish a foothold acrossthe eastern seaboard and a
Bermuda high effect and thatwill set us into some much

(00:45):
warmer and increasingly morehumid conditions and
temperatures that will bedownright hot by later on Friday
.
Then on the weekend we do havea series of frontal systems that
will be arriving, should breakthe heat not so too much on
Saturday but on Sunday, mondayand Tuesday of next week back to
at least closer to normalconditions after a little heat

(01:05):
wave commencing Thursday,lasting at least through
Saturday of this weekend.

Atlanta and some afternoonthunderstorms in Charlotte, so
some delays there.
Central and South Florida alsounder showers and thunderstorms
for the day, as an area of lowpressure is just off the coast
of Georgia and South Carolina,supplying lots of moisture for
the eastern Gulf Coast and itlooks like high pressure is
building across and throughHouston and Dallas.

Decent conditions in thoseplaces but, as mentioned also on
the hot side it's going to befair skies in Chicago and then
clouding up for the Green Bayarea.
The Oscars air show today rightup through Thursday and it
looks like fair conditions fortoday, but it looks like some
rainy weather moving in fortonight and for tomorrow.
